OpenArena is a free/open source 3D computer game that belongs to the "first-person shooter" genre. OpenArena had its first public test release on August 19 2005, the day after the Quake 3 engine GPL source code release and also the last day of Quake Expo 2005.
OpenArena is developed mainly using free/open source - e.g. its game engine is id Software's GNU GPL Quake 3 engine. OpenArena is entirely free as in speech (both engine, gamecode and data) - pure Open Content
It is still in very early development. In addition, a "missionpack" addon is planned, to take advantage of the also GPL'd Quake III: Team Arena source code.

[edit] Overview
OpenArena's gameplay is very similar to Quake III Arena - score frags to win the game using a very balanced set of weapons each designed for different situations. Gameplay modes exist such as the popular deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Tournament, and Capture The Flag (All modes also in the original game.) Since Version 0.6 you can play with bots.
